Best Dog Training Book
I Trained My Dog & He Still Won’t Listen!
What Do I Do Now?
60,000 Hours of Training Experience Delivered in 2 1/2 Hours
How much is 60,000 hours of dog training experience worth?
This dog training book has been 6 years in the writing and over 30 years in the making. More than 7,000 dogs and their owners have contributed to the information in this book and it hits straight on the money when it comes to getting results. So I’m not going to present you with some long sales page with a bunch of redundant information on it. I can tell you though that some information in this book is considered controversial in the eyes of some trainers, but the results blow away the results that these trainers are able to achieve with comparable dogs. For the last 10 years that I trained dogs in Los Angeles I became the local “go-to-guy” for other trainers needing advice working with “difficult dogs” owned by their clients. I was essentially the trainer to other local trainers. The book is jam packed with simple things to do that have been tested repeatedly with huge success over many years with even the most dominant and stubborn dogs.
Information that is Missing from 90% of Dog Training Books & Classes
My goal for this book was to give dog owners the information that I slowly acquired over 33 years that has made me an expert in dealing with difficult dogs, packs of dogs, dominant dogs, submissive dogs, aggressive dogs and shy dogs. This is why it took 6 years to write the book. I wanted to get down to what really matters in teaching people how to get their own dogs to respond with fantastic reliability anywhere and everywhere. It is the information that I find is missing from almost all classes. It is the information that trainers such as myself accumulate only after many years of working with dogs day in and day out.
Expert Results Without Hiring A Trainer
I personally trained over 7,000 dogs in the 33+ years I worked in Los Angeles. Some of my regular clients, who I now consider to be my friends, are well known celebrities that sought me out for help training their four legged friends and gave me some great testimonials (that their lawyers would allow). (-: One of several myths that I expose about dog training is that you should use a certain technique when training your dog. I am sorry to say that that is basically unimportant. Dogs are extremely good at getting the meaning of a command if anything you are doing makes any sense at all. In other words, they almost always learn what the words mean that we are trying to teach them unless what we are doing is ridiculous. What technique you used to teach your dog a word does not matter much at all in the grand scheme of things. There are things that do matter though and to get expert results you need to start behaving like an expert behaves around dogs.
Learn More In 2 Hours Than In 2 Months Of Pet Store Classes
For as little as $9.99 (kindle edition) you can learn the most valuable information about training your dog to listen and behave responsibly and you can easily train your dog yourself using whatever techniques you already know and are comfortable with. In just one evening of reading you will learn more than you would attending 8 weeks of group classes at your local pet store. This book will help just about anyone with a dog, but people with particularly difficult or stubborn dogs will be amazed at the quick changes they’ll see when they follow the advice. Subtle things you do unconsciously that are noticed by your dog undermine your efforts towards having that dog you can give total freedom to because you trust them 100%. The book is about how dogs learn and how they interpret what we do down to the smallest details. Things you are doing unconsciously that your dog notices as obviously as you would notice a pimple on your forehead, are undermining your efforts without you even knowing it. Sometimes all it takes is one or two simple changes in yourself and you can see a huge difference in how your dog responds and looks up to you.
More than 30 years of dog training experience has been packed into this easy and fun-to-read book. During that time I’ve trained just about every type of dog one can imagine. More than 60,000 hours of experience has been boiled down to what really matters and nothing else. The bottom line is this… If your goal is to have your dog respond reliably 100% of the time and to always behave responsibly regardless of where you take them, then this is the dog training book for you. End of story.

About the author:
Duane Overturf began his dog training career at the age of 15 when he trained his dog, Frosty, a Samoyed he got for his birthday. At high school, he worked at a local kennel caring for and training champion show dogs. Pretty soon Duane was training puppies sold to local families. After high school Duane trained dogs as a side business. While working at a local pet store Duane taught group classes and private lessons until he decided to go full time training dogs in 1990.
Since he began his career over 33 years ago, more than 7,000 dogs and families have benefited from Duane’s unique insights and expertise. Today, he focuses on helping families and their dogs get along better. He works with all types of dog breeds and mixes and all ages from 6 weeks up. He has built a solid reputation in his local area with numerous veterinarians and retail pet supply stores recommending him for many years with positive feedback.
Duane also works with several other local dog trainers as a consultant when they need help with difficult dogs. Duane’s specialty is working with problem and difficult dogs. He has extensive experience working with timid, abused and aggressive dogs as well as every day family dogs too. He uses a combination of traditional and modern methods of training to help difficult, dominant or aggressive dogs as well as shy, fearful or abused dogs become happy, confident, safe and responsive family members.
